See, I was always under the impression that coffee was what made my mouth taste like seven desert camels with incontinence had ventured through it with muddy feet. I mean, you get up, you brush your teeth, you drink coffee, and an hour later you need a breath mint…STAT!

Dude, YOU need some coffee, stat!

But according to this ever so cool study done by the Israelis coffee actually blocks a lot of the bacteria that are responsible for bad breath. There is even talk of a salve that would be made from coffee that could eliminate bad breath.

We have reached a pinnacle in coffee history. We are at the dawn of the age of coffee toothpaste. This could revolutionize the free world and give Starbucks a totally new venue for their greed.

Imagine if you will…you could go into your local Starbucks and order a tube of caramel macchiato toothpaste. You could forego coffee in the mornings and just brush your teeth for an extended period of time…

Caffeine junkies, desperate for a caffeine fix would be sucking down coffee flavored Listerine and squeezing the last few globs out of discarded toothpaste tubes.

Interesting thought. Coffee actually freshens breath. Wow.
